It's finally time to reveal the annual Best of Richmond where we survey our readers and ask them to rank local businesses – everything from pizza joints to hair salons. This year, more than 6,000 people ranked companies in four categories: Food&Fun, Shopping, Services and Health&Fitness.
Along with businesses and organizations, we also love to highlight Richmondites who make a difference in the community and who make the city strong. Some you may have heard of, others maybe not. Either way, their contribution towards building a healthy, vibrant community has been invaluable.
Let us introduce you to Tony Wong-Hen, for example, a volunteer basketball coach who helped launch the Dolphin Park Classic more than 30 years ago and is still coaching teams today.
And then there’s Geling Jiang, an award-winning musician specializing in Chinese plucked instruments, who founded Richmond’s Zheng trio, 21 Strings Plus.
…and the list goes on.
There is so much to celebrate in this community which is what makes our Best of Richmond section a highlight of the year.
